Not sure how interesting they are, but EMT seems to make
dedicated mono carts OFD25 (65 for '78). According to fabtech.de :

"The OF-series pick-up's are pure mono versions. The transducer is constructed in a way to read
only horizontal trackings. The coil is connected to the right channel (the horizontal pins)."

As far as I understand this is an old design,  which comes from the Ortofon PU,
so no idea if it really brings something "new" in the mono pool. I'm trying to tresearch it a bit more.
 
There is also a mono version of TSD15, TMD15. It may or may not be what Romy has initially
asked for (a mono cart on par with it's stereo brother), but there is some point with it (fabtech.de):

"The T-series transducer is constructed in a way, that it is possible to read horizontal as well as vertical tracks.
The mono versions TMD and TND are built with only one coil which is connected only to the right channel
output (the horizontal pins) by historical reasons. Caused by the construction, vertical trackings, like bending
of the record or dust will be read as well."
